Sonny Weems is headed to the Chicago Bulls after being selected in the second round of the National Basketball Association Draft on Thursday night. Weems was the No. 39 overall pick and the second drafted player for Chicago. The Bulls selected Memphis’ Derrick Rose with the No. 1 overall pick.
Weems completed his Razorback career by earning first-team All-Southeastern Conference honors, and all-district honors from the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the United States Basketball Writers Association in his senior season.
He averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists, helping the Razorbacks go 23-12, finish second in the Southeastern Conference’s Western Division, reach the finals of the SEC Tournament and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Following the completion of his Razorback career, Weems won the collegiate slam dunk national title in the 20th annual State Farm College Slam Dunk and 3-Point Championships at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas. He became the second Razorback (Brandon Dean) to win the contest held in conjunction with the Final Four.
